E55 Drag Video

Here's another member of the forum kicking butt against his friend in a newer M3, and some random musclecar with slicks.

I'll let him identify himself if he chooses.

His car sounds awesome, BTW.

He did a good job of chasing him down but the muscle car still got the win.

Actually, not. Look closely, and you will see the "win" light above the E55's side.

The other car was a street racer and runs "dark" so he can still run on the street. Usually, they even tear your ticket in half.

I know the car has exhaust. Maybe the owner will chime in?

Hey guyz thanks for the compliments~ and thanks again to Wayne for posting the video for me~The run was a week after i had my Kleemann K2 installed...It was very windy which caused everyone a little problem (loss of trap speed 2~3mph according to Wayne~am i right? lol) plus i couldnt get into the 11s due to my brand new tires on my 19' HRE C20s...I've been abusing my tires since then, so hopefully i get a better result next time~ohh..by the way, i also have a Eisenmann race exhaust...
My best run was 12.29@114mph if i remember correctly...

There was a 25-35 mph headwind that day. It cost me about 2mph and the more "brick-shaped" cars were reporting at least 2-3 mph off.

JRocket: Look closely. No numbers came up at all. Just the "win" light.

ChicagoX are you able to get under 200 at the 60 ft? are these your baseline runs? i know your a consistant .500 launch.

do you think you can pull a 1.65 60 ft time ?
where those runs full load or did you strip weight off?

Fyi...

mercedez-benz drag times
kleemann stage 2 with a 120 wet shot looks to be the winner.
I'm thinking Derek not sharing all his mod's seeing that he is .30 sec faster than the rest of the pack!
